South Koreans always love a GPS navigation system packed with bunch of other features so their latest from UTX is no exception. Called Wings UT300 this device is a portable car entertainment system.
It has a 7″, sunlight readable, 800×480 wide TFT color LCD display, mini USB, and USB ports, video input for a rear camera, and an SD card slot.
In the box, the UTX Wings UT300 comes with a USB WiBro antenna so you can browse the internet, checkout live traffic cameras at blazing wireless speeds.
By they way, WiBro is a technology developed by South Korean telecom industry and it simply stands for Wireless Broadband. It is pretty much equivalent to IEEE 802.16e.
But that’s not all. Thanks to a separate DMB antenna you can also catch your favorite digitally broadcast TV channels on the go – though we do recommend you keep your eyes on the road.
It would be really cool if this would make to USA ten years from now because then we could really have the infrastructure to support such a device.

Leica Geosystems seem to be getting ready to release a GPS navigation system in the U.S. of A. Looking at their product line they don’t seem to be focusing on consumer electronics so this probably would be their first attempt at the market.
This sat nav device which we came across the FCC site is called Leica mojoMINI and looks like most other GPS navigation system with a 4.3″ screen. It comes with a car charger, mounting bracket and cradle, and stylus for the touch screen. It has an SD card slot, mini USB charging port, headphone jack, and an embedded external speaker.
We’re not sure when this Leica mojoMINI will hit the market but we’ll be sure to let you know when it does [pdf].
Mar 12, 2010 gps navigation, on bikes
Google just keeps being awesome. They just recently announced a new service that provides biking directions for those who don’t rely on an automobile.
If you’re looking into riding your bike more often Google Maps is now your friend. When you choose biking directions form Google Maps the appearance of the map changes: dark green lines represent roads with no motor vehicles, light green lines represent streets with bike lanes, and dashed green lines show other streets recommended for cyclists.
Google Maps will automatically suggest routes that are not too steep and more suitable for biking.
It is not on Andorid/mobile devices just yet… but coming.
Thank you Google for helping those with a smaller carbon foot print.

We’ve been talking about Motorola’s attempt at GPS navigation system – Motonav – for a while now. It looks like we now have an official model name that is going to be released soon. It is called Motonav TN765, or N765t. People at Ubergizmo had a chance to play with the device before their review and the first impression doesn’t sound so bad.
What makes the Motonav N765t special is the 5.1″ cinematic display which is wider than any other wide screen GPS navigation systems out there. It is treated with a non-glossy material so bright daylight shouldn’t be something to be scared of.
Another design feature that is not very common in other brands is the volume and zoom control buttons on the back edge of the device.
